Hello everyone: I am in my 50's, female and hoping to be successful at a 25-30 pound weight loss. I have never dieted before in my life. I have early stage Crohn's disease and decided after reading "Wheat Belly" by William Davis MD, to go gluten free. This seems to have stopped my flare. Unfortunately, I did lose 5 pounds but packed them back on. I consulted a dietitican and she is going to help me with my weight loss. If you have any tips of what works for you please share them with me. Thanks.

    Welcome, I'm gluten sensitive (specifically wheat sensitive) and feel best when it's out of my diet. I had a little on Thanksgiving and I'm still paying for it!! As for GF and weight loss, the best advice I can give is to stay away from the GF alternatives. They are very high in calories and usually void in fiber. Eat lots of veggies, fruits and lean proteins. You are welcome to add me as a friend.

    marksdailyapple.com is a good resource when starting off on the gluten-free way. i find awesome recipes at Civilized Caveman Cooking Creations website (google it), as well as Food Lovers' Primal Palate, and many more you can find linked on those two sites alone. best of luck to you!
